2020

• usethis::use_package_doc()
  Consider letting usethis manage your @importFrom directives here.
  usethis::use_import_from() is handy for this.
• usethis::use_testthat(3) and upgrade to 3e, testthat 3e vignette
• Align the names of R/ files and test/ files for workflow happiness.
  The docs for usethis::use_r() include a helpful script.
  usethis::rename_files() may be be useful.

2021

• usethis::use_tidy_dependencies()
• usethis::use_tidy_github_actions() and update artisanal actions to use setup-r-dependencies
• Remove check environments section from cran-comments.md
• Bump required R version in DESCRIPTION to 3.6
• Use lifecycle instead of artisanal deprecation messages, as described in Communicate lifecycle changes in your functions

2022

• usethis::use_tidy_coc()
• Handle and close any still-open master --> main issues
• Update README badges, instructions in r-lib/usethis#1594
• Update errors to rlang 1.0.0. Helpful guides:
  https://rlang.r-lib.org/reference/topic-error-call.html
  https://rlang.r-lib.org/reference/topic-error-chaining.html
  https://rlang.r-lib.org/reference/topic-condition-formatting.html
• Update pkgdown site using instructions at https://tidytemplate.tidyverse.org
• Ensure pkgdown development is mode: auto in pkgdown config
• Re-publish released site; see How to update a released site
• Update lifecycle badges with more accessible SVGs: usethis::use_lifecycle()

2023

Necessary:

• Double check license file uses '[package] authors' as copyright holder. Run use_mit_license()

• usethis::use_tidy_coc()
• usethis::use_tidy_github_actions()

Optional:

• Review 2022 checklist to see if you completed the pkgdown updates
• Prefer pak::pak("org/pkg") over devtools::install_github("org/pkg") in README
• Consider running use_tidy_dependencies() and/or replace compat files with use_standalone()
• use_standalone("r-lib/rlang", "types-check") instead of home grown argument checkers
• Add alt-text to pictures, plots, etc; see https://posit.co/blog/knitr-fig-alt/ for examples
